Sylvette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvette is the title of the portrait of the young woman with the ponytail painted by Pablo Picasso. The Spanish painter met Sylvette David, a woman who worked in a pottery not far from his studio in Vallauris, in spring 1953. The attraction, which a face like Sylvette's had for Picasso's sensuality, motivated him to paint. Sylvette's portrait from May 2, 1954 is one of the last of a long serial.
